Bruniales is an order of flowering plants. Until recently it was not recognized as an order, but a 2008 study suggested that Bruniaceae and Columelliaceae are sister clades.[2] The latest revision of the APG system, APG III, places both families as the only members of the order Bruniales, which is sister to the Apiales, and one of the asterid taxa.[1]

The APG III phylogenetic tree for the asterids is:

asterids
